AGL125V5-FGG144

Overview

The AGL125V5-FGG144 is a flash-based Field Programmable Gate Array from the IGLOO family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It features 125,000 system gates and 3,072 VersaTiles within a 144-pin Fine Pitch Ball Grid Array (FGG144) package. The device operates on a core voltage range of 1.2 V to 1.5 V and supports up to 97 user I/Os. It includes 36 kbits of true dual-port SRAM and 1 kbit of FlashROM. The component supports industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +85°C), offers Instant On Level 0 capability, and incorporates Flash*Freeze technology for ultra-low power retention.

Feature Summary

• Flash*Freeze technology enables rapid entry into an ultra-low power mode that retains FPGA content and register data without requiring external components.
• Instant On Level 0 support allows immediate system initialization upon power-up, eliminating the need for external configuration PROMs or boot devices.
• Integrated AES-128 decryption engine and FlashLock security mechanisms protect intellectual property and enable secure in-system programming.
• Advanced I/O structure supports mixed-voltage operation across multiple banks with programmable slew rates and drive strengths.

Applications

• Portable electronics requiring low static power consumption and instant-on functionality
• Secure remote field updates utilizing AES-protected in-system programming
• System control logic managing power states via Flash*Freeze mode

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm temperature grade and packaging compliance. Ensure the design flow accounts for the nonvolatile flash architecture which differs from SRAM-based FPGAs. Confirm that the selected package variant matches the required pin count and thermal specifications for the target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this device when a single-chip solution with nonvolatile configuration is required to reduce bill-of-materials costs. Consider the AGL125V5 for designs needing moderate logic density with integrated security features. Evaluate the 1.2V to 1.5V core voltage flexibility for optimizing dynamic power consumption in battery-operated systems compared to fixed-voltage alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the IGLOO Low-Power Flash FPGA family, which utilizes a 130-nm process technology. The 'V5' designation indicates a specific generation within the IGLOO lineup, characterized by enhanced power management features and security implementations compared to earlier versions. It serves as a cost-effective alternative to ASICs for mid-volume production runs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package include other AGL125 variants with different temperature grades or supply voltage options. Cross-family migration to higher-density IGLOO devices requires verification of routing resource availability and I/O bank configurations.
